"Irene.... Irene sweetheart,you have a visitor". Liam called out. "Coming dad." Irene yelled from inside and then rushed out to check out who it was. She found Alexandra sitting on their sofa in their house looking remorseful. "Alexi, what's wrong?" she asked as she walked towards her friend's direction. Her father excused to leave them alone and have their conversation. The two got up and went out to have their conversation. "Now tell me, what's wrong." Irene asked, concern visible on her face. "Nothing. Look Irene.... I'm sorry about the other time. I didn't mean to bring my anger on you. I was just upset with Bianca's words but that doesn't give me the right to bring that anger or blame on you. So please, forgive me. We have known each other for years now and I don't want all the happy memories we shared to be stolen by one night argument. So please again, forgive me." Alexandra pleaded. "Alexi, what you also did might have hurt me too, but that doesn't
Alexandra stood shaking violently. She was sweating from head to toe and Irene could understand why. Drug dealers were the type of people her friend feared the most, for some personal reasons. Irene stood by Alexandra and all three watched the sad scene unfold. "Irene." All three turned around and found Liam walking as fast as he could towards his daughter with tears in his eyes. The old man's legs kept shaking as he walked towards them. One could clearly see that he is in pain, but that would not stop him from getting to his daughter. Liam hugged her tightly before kissing her forehead "Why did you leave the house? Do you know how worried I was when I heard the gunshots and found out you were not in. Do you want me to die before you get married? Now, you will of leave the house without informing me, you understand." He scolded her. Irene and Alexandra chuckled making Liam turn his head towards her "And you, don't think you are not part of this. You are also like a
"We need to make a different plan. Victoria has something up her sleeve, so let's also make our own." Raphael said to Ruffy. "What do you suggest?" "I suggest we kill him, then I will take over his company by buying it. What do you think." "And how do you suggest you take over the company? You don't have enough money to buy even fifteen percent of the shares." Ruffy said. "I know that. I was thinking of offering a large sum of money to one of his executive members to steal some of the company's income." Raphael said. "What if he gets caught." "He won't, because your boys will be watching his back. What do you say." Raphael asked. "I say it is a good plan. But what do I get in return." Ruffy asked as he puffed his cigar. Raphael leaned back onto his chair in deep thought. What exactly does he have to offer that will be accepted by this man? All this man ever wants is money, but he had no intention of giving him that. "When I take over the comp
"You will be a wonderful father," Gina said proudly. Drake chuckled "I was expecting you to say husband but thanks, really appreciate it. Now get up you all, time to go to sleep." Drake said. "I should be taking my leave then." Gina said, getting up. "No, no you can sleep here tonight. I have a lot of guest rooms here in my humble abode." He offered. "Are you sure? But then, where would Eduardo sleep." she asked. "He said a lot of guest rooms, Gina, which means there are others I can choose from. But I can even sleep on the same bed and bath with him so don't worry." Eduardo said sheepishly, making Drake laugh. "Those were the old days bro, not anymore in your lifetime." He said, patting Eduardo's back. "The butler will show you your room Gina. Good night." He said , giving her a kiss on the cheek. "And be careful, he seems to have been watching you for quite some time now." Eduardo said smirking and ran out before he got scolded.
"Dad, do you always have to bring that up? You know it is one subject I don't like to speak of yet, you always raise it". Jessica said annoyed."How can I not talk about it? Even the clothes you are wearing are not good for a woman who just delivered". Alonso replied. Jessica looked down at what she was wearing. It was practical clothes: Blue jeans, canvas trainers and a fleece."Dad, you are only saying that because you don't like these types of common clothes". she said."No, I am saying that because I think you are still in some kind of pain". Alonso retorted."But dad, I am no longer feeling sore. Why can't I wear simple jeans". she argued. Alonso saw that she was not going to heed to his words, so he just shrugged it off." You are just like your mother". Alonso said smiling. Immediately, the cry of an infant filled their ears. Alonso's smile widened hearing the angelic cry of his grandson, it was so tormenting.Jessica got up to do the duty of a mother as is now her responsibili
Gunshots were heard coming out from various directions. Santo immediately dropped his phone and sped up, since there seemed to be no target, he could get the chance to escape.Drake had to lean down behind the seat per command from Santo. Since Santo was his personal guard, in situations like these he has to heed to his words. What he didn't understand was where they came from and why this was happening in broad daylight.Usually, miscreants never showed themselves in daylight, but usually hid till midnight before starting their mission. One would say that was a smart move, and it really is, at least for them.Drake was utterly confused as to what was happening. This couldn't just be that they were doing it for fun sake, definitely there is a target and that target might be him. Drake anticipated that someone would try to harm him, but never at this time of the day.Drake had psyched for this day, but forgot all about it because of his personal problems, but that gave him no thought
Drake struggled for his life, using all his swimming skills, just to get to the surface of the sea, yet even though he was a talented swimmer, he kept drowning. He was losing air, it felt like his breath was being sucked out. He was losing balance, and he knew if he didn't try harder, this would be his end.Then he heard his name being called, by the voice of a woman. He looked around in the water and up, but saw no one. He tried to swim to the surface again, but still couldn't do it. He now feels like giving up. If this is how his life was going to end, then let it be.Of course favour was not by his side all these years, for he had gone through so much pain and agony to think that he was blessed. Well, some called him as someone who was cursed anyway. There were times he sat down and tried to commemorate if he had wronged someone and was now facing the consequences, but nothing ever came to mind.In the business industry he was like the wind which can never be touched. He had fought
Drake had regained consciousness after going through a wave of pain. He realised he was in a hospital bed with Gina, weeping outside at the glass window while doctors and nurses did their jobs by trying to save his life.His vision still felt a bit blear and his voice weak from the pain and aggression he went through but slowly and with time, all of them went away as he drifted to sleep. He woke up again and found himself in a different room with drips all over him and oxygen right on his nose.He tried to move a little but felt some sharp pain on some parts of his body. He strained his neck a bit to see bandages all over his left arms and legs. As for his covered belly he could not see, but was definitely sure there was some covered there.He saw his father sitting on one of the chairs in the room with his head in his hands. He further looked around to see a nurse checking on any improvement in his health. Drake wanted to alert them that he was awake by speaking, but he was too weak
